Wanted to say thanks to this forum for all the information provided on Spain. Returned back to the states after spending 5 weeks in Spain. Thanks to everyone who answered my questions and gave great advice we enjoyed our time in Spain. 5 weeks wasnt nearly enough to explore everything but we did manage to hit the following areas:
Madrid - with day trips to Segovia and El Escorial
Toledo
Extremadura (Caceres as home base with day trips to Merida, Monfrague National Park, Los Barruecos, Trujillo)
Seville
Ronda
Malaga
Granada
Cordoba
We definitely need to plan another trip to Spain to explore other parts of the country.
Once again thanks
